We're All Stars Now...

Ugh.

Syd snorted and rolled her eyes. Allie was actually dragging that girl over. She didn't even know for sure if it was the girl from Heresy! Allie was such a stupid pain in the ass.

She scrunched up her eyebrows when the two girls came back. "What? No," she said, characteristically terse. She looked at Allie, and then back at Shiki. "Are you in Heresy?"

Her agent's voice once again chirped out from Shiki's phone which the punkette now halfheartedly kept at her ear. Shiki soon brought her cellphone directly to her lips in a deliberate fashion before cutting the other woman off mid-sentence, "Nail bat, Julie! I want one! And, you know what? You might as well add a new fucking phone to that list, as well."

The punkette cut the phone conversation short, turning away from Syd and Allie before suddenly hurling her phone directly into one of the walls of the AFW building. Naturally, the delicate device exploded into pieces. Giving a deep sigh of relief, the punkette once again brought her attention back to the pair of alleged fans. An easy motion would allow Shiki to remove her sunglasses from her face. She'd eye Allie suspiciously a moment before allowing her pretty green gaze to once again settle on Syd. She could have just answered Syd's question but this girl was supposed to be her biggest fan. Removing her sunglasses would surely help ring some bells. Or, at least, Shiki's stubborn pride insisted on as much.

Instead, the punkette tilted her head slightly and gave the young girl a flat look, "Well, what do you think?"

Syd shrugged, and made a sound like "I dunno," but without consonants.

Allie raised an eyebrow at the display. She sure was fiery. She liked that much quite a bit. However, Allie had no idea who the girl ACTUALLY was and didn't particularly care. She took a step back when Shiki eyed her. She then looked at Syd. Hopeless as ever.Allie swore she had to do ALL the work for EVERYTHING. Pretty soon she'd be fighting Syd's matches for her too.

She elbowed Syd in the side a bit more rough than she probably needed to and flashed a bright grin. "Well, obviously you are." that girl in that band She said. "This is Syd. She absolutely loves you and your group! She gets so nervous around celebrities that it's just hard for her to talk." Allie beamed at Syd. "Go on, Syd, don't be shy now! You're never gonna get another chance like this."

Allie then pushed up on her tip toes and leaned her busty chest against Syd, covering her mouth while she whispered into Syd's ear. "She likes nail bats as much as you! I've never met anyone who had anything in common with you whatsoever! You CAN'T pass this up by being all emo!"

Syd snorted, and shoved Allie away with one hand hard enough to send her stumbling. "Heresy's alright." She shrugged.

She looked Shiki up and down and stroked her ponytail over one shoulder. Shiki certainly looked like... Shiki. But it was still entirely confused about why she was here.

"You need a bat?" She offered. "Why? You don't seem like the type to actually swing one. Maybe pose with it, I guess. Why... what are you doing here?" She asked.

"Pose?" Shiki's feature's darkened for a moment. The comment almost felt like an insult, Shiki felt a pang of agitation at the remark. And, then, the punkette actually considered the thought for a moment, "Pose with a nail bat? Fuck, that would be sexy." It was ingenious! She'd have to remember that.

"Wait, do you have a nail bat? Can I borrow it?" A reckless flicker touched the punkette's eyes as she glanced at both girls anxiously, "Yasha Love. I'd like to skullfuck her with it..." Now, there was some vivid imagery. Shiki relished the thought. "Wait, Syd, right? How do you not know that I wrestle here in the AFW?"

The redhead talked a lot but she was convincing. Syd was reserved and awkward enough for Shiki to believe she was, perhaps, a little shy. Regardless, Shiki simply liked the look of the red eyed girl. There was definitely something interesting about her. Something dangerous. Danger was always an alluring attraction to the raven-haired punkette.

Allie stumbled away from Syd and only managed to keep her balance because she had become quite the expert at dealing with a shove-happy Syd.

She kept her distance as Shiki inspected her charge and nearly started something. She didn't though and Allie considered the punkette's words. "You wrestle here too?" She asked. "How about that Syd?!" Allie said with a smile. "You and your idol can beat people to death with nail bats now. Isn't that great?"

Allie shuddered inwardly. Why, exactly, was she encouraging this? Syd probably WOULD just kill someone if she thought she could get away with it. The red head paused and considered it. She then grinned. When people feared Syd, they feared Allie and as long as she held the leash to the rabid dog, Syd could bite anyone she wanted. If there was another girl around, and a superstar at that, wouldn't that only increase Allie's fame as well? She was already pretty super as it was. Becoming a star without lifting a finger? Allie really was just the best there was.

Syd only shrugged. It wasn't like Shiki was plastered all over posters here. Who knew she was a wrestler?

"That's stupid," Syd said, and she debated for a moment if she needed to elaborate at all. "If you want to stab someone, stab 'em. Don't use a bat. Have you ever wrestled before?" Clearly Syd had to fill her in on the finer points of using weapons in a wrestling match.

"You can try to cave in someone's skull with a bat, yeah, but it's way better to hit them in the soft spots. Like here," she jabbed Allie in the stomach with her fingers. "Makes them cough and fall down and shit. Like a fish. But my favorite it in places like here," she reached down and punched Allie in the thigh hard enough to make her limp. "It hurts like hell and leaves a bruise, and then they try to crawl to the ropes or something while they can't walk. It's pretty awesome."

She paused. Her red eyes flicked on and off of Shiki, and her cheeks reddened slightly. "Not that you'd care."

Allie watched as Syd talked. It wasn't something that happened and a NORMAL person would actually talk... normal but for Syd, this was actually really good. Allie thought real progress could be made.

As long as Syd stopped poking her... Allie furrowed her brow and glared at Syd.

"Guowww! What the hell!?"

The punch made Allie collapse to the ground and she rubbed her thigh. What the hell was wrong with her!? She hated Syd so much sometimes! She was suddenly almost hoping Syd would mess things up just so Shiki could kick her ass. No, that wouldn't be good either. Maybe Shiki could punch Syd in the face and then just get beat down. Allie could probably live with that.

Well, she obviously had wrestled before. Given her current record, however, it was hard to be too boastful of her experiences thus far. Conquering the AFW had turned out to be a little more challenging than the egotistical rockstar had originally thought. Overall, a very minor hiccup in the grand scheme of things as far as the conceited punk rocker was concerned.

Regardless, Shiki immediately found herself skeptical of Syd's words--at first. She had to cut the girl some slack, however. She was not only apparently a wrestler but, even more importantly, also a fan of her music. Syd obviously had good taste. While Syd continued to elaborate--suddenly having a great deal to say--Shiki couldn't help but find her interests further piqued. She'd openly laugh as Syd displayed her efficiency by dropping her friend to the ground with a cruel punch, much to Shiki's delight.

"Hah, are you kidding!? How could I not care? You're a riot waiting to happen, aren't you? I love it."

The punkette couldn't help but find herself worked up with all the talk of violence and, now, punching! Shiki's grin flashed as her eyes darted down to Allie, "You, too, Red. Aren't you just a pretty, little, fucking, punching bag." Had she missed the other girl's name? Oh, well. Red hair, "Red" would do. Shiki briefly feinted a punch down at the already wounded girl before giggling deviously.

"Hey, look. You both seem alright... I think you two are the first people I've met around this shit-hole that aren't complete chumps..."
